Belkin is discontinuing support for a large portion of its Wemo smart home devices, effectively rendering them useless. Ars Technica reports that this move underscores the lack of accountability IoT companies face when abandoning products customers have already purchased. The company will cease support on January 31st, leaving many users with bricked devices. This decision raises concerns about the long-term viability of smart home technology and the responsibility of manufacturers to maintain support for their products beyond initial sales.
